http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=475
make sure you have kernel installed from app manager before you begin...
no memory card is needed...
after following this http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=475, dont restart and go on the first page and run people who have lost their overclock after nitdroid

yes it dual boot, maemo and nitdroid.
no phone in nitdroid!

After it completes, using filebox delete nitdroid's installation folders and files that were copied to home: bin, data, dev, etc (symlink), initrd, lib (symlink), mnt, proc, sbin, sdcard, sys, system, tmp, usr,default.prop, init, init.nokia.rc, init.rc

:D

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

First of all thanks for your tutorial. I have couple of questions:

1: I don't want messaging to work on Nitdroid. is there any way that I can disable the SMS functionalty. I want my messages to stay in Maemo

2: you mentioned that "The phone stops charging when the screen turns off" is this problem present in Maemo too or it happens in Nitdroid.

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!

how do i get out of the airplane mode ?

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

maemo and nitdroid and two completely different things!
its like dual booting windows xp with windows 7
whatever is in your maemo, will stay the same . you will still be able to use maemo like you did before. no difference. nothing will be deleted. make calls and everything.
same answer to the second one aswell. everything will be normal in maemo. its completely different.
only nitdroid has issues and will only be in nitdroid and not maemo

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

do this in nitdroid.

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

Apart from nitdroid 0.0.9 being based on Android 2.3.1, are there ant other differences/improvements in 0.0.9 ? I'm currently on 0.0.8 ..

Also, whats the easiest way to go from 0.0.8 to 0.0.9 ?

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

ammyt, quick ? for example we want to remove the xmasdroid from the emmc how do we go about doing a clean uninstall of the program?

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

Is it only me or nitdroid hangs a bit when entering and exiting the app drawer, and when scrolling down lists and menus especially the market list and the app drawer. It can get pretty annoying. Does anyone know if these problems will be solved by the last version? I mean the N900s processor can take on android.

Thanks,

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

Hi, I just recently installed nitdroid 0.0.9 and everything is going great. But I have a question about how to access the microsd card in android and get mass storage support to work?

I cant find a way to see the microsd card and just see the emmc and I also installed the newest kernel and when I plug it into my computer nothing happens. I'm running windows 7 64 bit.

oh and another thing is. Why does the led indicator light blink green when the screen goes dark?

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!

[QUOTE=ammyt;887394]I just did a final edit and check-up to the wiki,--
http://wiki.maemo.org/Nitdroid_easy_...requent_errors
-- to gladly anounce that e-yes and the elite Nitdroid team just released Nitdroid 0.0.9 codenamed: xMasDroid. Since this is just a minor update to 0.0.8, the instructions of installing it will only be posted here, nothing will travel to the wiki till the awaited Gingerbread is released :D.
As for the instructions, I would like to thank to mido.fayad and tele for contributing:.............

1. Please guyz, I know that this looks a bit of exciting, but can you please stop asking 'nd pm'ing me about voice calls? It is like mentioned over 88 pages! Nitdroid ain't got no phonecall capabilities, for now.
2. @bhupedra, check out your .item file, be sure that ITEM_DEVICE:${INT_CARD}p2 (if you have a plugged in microsd) or ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2 (if you don't have an mmc.
3. @confusedfella, yes, I admit :p. Nitdroid suffers a small lag scrolling the market.
4. @Alb3rto it is nitdroid, not nitroid :)
5. @t4ure4n not all Nitdroids have the charging issue, mine gets on charging pretty well.
6. @skoaa try this: bzip2 -d /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-0.0.9.tar.bz2
p.s. Remember folks, it's all in the first post!

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

hey man, Ive seen you in the N900 owners from the Philippines thread. Where are you based? I'm in Manila. The reason im asking is because I successfully installed Nitdroid but somehow I am unable to see some apps in the app market. I cant see swype or tweetdeck or angry birds. is this because of my location? or maybe just because paid apps is not shown in my app market?

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

I got NITdroid working with little problems. I only have a small question regarding battery life. I noticed that NITdroid gives consistently higher battery levels than Maemo. I could be with ~60% battery in NITdroid, switch over to Maemo and get ~40% or less.
Question is - is NITdroid optimistic, is Maemo pessimistic or is the true battery condition somewhere in the middle? I tend to believe Maemo since it's the stock phone OS, but then it means my NITdroid would just shut down with no prior notice? I really would not like this to happen.
Anyone with experience regarding NITdroid bettery life can comment?

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

Maemo is pretty pessimistic, but to be on the safe side, take the average of both of their readings.

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

6. @skoaa try this: bzip2 -d /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-0.0.9.tar.bz2

ammyt

thx bro

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

I can't believe it, I installed Nitdroid over 7 times till now! @skooa are you suer you installed nitdroid-installer? Are you sure that your Nitdroid archive's size is ~73 MB?

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
 

btw, if you want Nitdroid to see your media files (photos, vids,music) rename the .XXXXXXX folders in MyDocs to XXXXXXX (e.g. .sounds to sounds)

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!

Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!
